3 years ago my debut novel published, and I celebrated. I celebrated resilience, courage, and a dream that was nearly two decades in the making. Dreamers, writers, fellow risk-takers...KEEP GOING. Sometimes we must persist longer than we imagined, sometimes the climb is steeper than we anticipated, the hand holds few and far apart. But here is a truth I learned in the years leading up to this: YOU ARE STRONGER THAN YOU KNOW. So, in the words of my books’ characters: Keep Reaching, Find the Light, Prove Valiant, and Step in My Steps. We are the fortunate ones. Nos Sumus Fortunati. #flashfall #anniversary #dreambig #subpars #stepinmysteps #wearethefortunateones #flashtide #authorlife #nevergiveup #bookstagram #yabooks #yalit #fiercereads https://www.instagram.com/p/B45MTJtAKUb/?igshid=j157bjvx2equ
